[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3950792, member: 33119"] I’ll throw a curve with a 260. In tough times you can use brass from 308, 7-08 & 243 after you work it a little. With longer bullets you’ll be restricted by mag length and you’ll never be able to push the pressure curve as hard as you can in a bolt gun. Here is a quick look at ballistics for a 260 shooting a 143gr ELDX @ 2775 fps [ATTACH type="full" alt="B5AEB8DD-F5C0-4D2D-B78C-E8583D8769EF.png"]341052[/ATTACH] Here is the ballistics for a 308 shooting a 168gr Berger VLD @ 2730 fps. I’m not sure how fast a an AR10 will shoot a 168 VLD so it’s a guess on my part [ATTACH type="full" alt="434EA470-7A04-4347-98A7-F38678596AE0.png"]341053[/ATTACH] Just food for thought [/QUOTE]
